When garlic grows in the moonlight

... I would imagine them singing.

Piano improvisation

This piece explores some of the more unusual sonorities that can be produced on the piano.

Willan - Gelobt sei Gott

Live recording.

Healey Willan's organ setting of Gelobt sei Gott, which is based on a melody by Melchior Vulpius.

Schubert - Klavierstucke D. 946, Nr. 1

Schubert - Klavierstucke D. 946, Nr. 1 in E-flat minor

Part of a set of three pieces written in 1828, they were probably intended as a continuation of the series of impromptus Schubert had begun in 1827 of Op. 90 and Op. 142.  However, they did not appear in print during Schubert's lifetime. 

In this recording I have included the Andantino section, deleted from the autograph yet appearing in the first edition.

Earth speaks

In spirit with Earth Hour activities, this piece was recorded in darkness using equipment with a minimal electrical footprint.  It is a meditation on the planet on which we live the substance of its diverse landscape.

Playing the piano in complete darkness is an activity which I have found to be very fruitful in the creation of ideas and enhanced focus it can bring to sound with the diminished presence of visual stimuli.  I have applied this activity to composed music as well.
